Black Sandy Beaches

Messages from broken bottles fall 
   C           C/F
on black sandy beaches
Am7                               
Ink in vain across the page now 
       C       C/F
run from morning dew
Am7                               
Hands which chance upon it lead to
                      C
 eyes which strain to read
C/F                            
Heart which pound from love long 
      Csus4
overdue
Am7                               
Lips which press together, stifle 
   C     C/F
rhythmic heavy breathes

           Dm                   
Oh, how she cries from vicarious 
              C      Bb
love from the one he writes about
    Dm                         C  
She must have been so glad for him
    Bb
 to throw it out

        Am7                      
Further steps lead to yet another 
        C
broken bottle
C/F
Again the words contained have bled 
the page
      Am7                          
Whose tears were these which ran 
      C
the ink
     C/F
From who they'd pour to make this 
streak?

Were they his by chance from 
telling her or hers by chance from 
      C
reading it?
     C/F
they could have been collective
     C/F
they could have been from someone 
else
Am7
    Why don't we see whats at the 
bottom?
C                C/F
    Why don't we see what comes next

            Dm                  
Oh, how she cries from vicarious 
               C      Bb
pain from the one he writes about
    Dm                        C   
she must have been so sad for him 
   Bb
to throw her out

               F           Am7
Let's just say she, she is better
Dm        C    Bb
Better off somehow
               F            Am7
Let's just say she, she has never 
been
Dm     C            Bb
Happier than she is now
            Gm
We couldn't fake it so why even try?
               F           Am7
Let's just say she, she is better
Dm        C    Bb
Better off somehow
               F            Am7
Let's just say she, she has never 
been
Dm     C            Bb
Happier than she is now
               F           Am7
Let's just say she, she is better
Dm        C    Bb
Better off somehow
               F            Am7
Let's just say she, she has never 
been
Dm     C            Bb
Happier than she is now
